Overall, I was impressed with the price and the size of the Centro. The operating system is old, but stable and highly functional. The wireless connection is just fast, but not the latest which allows voice and data at the same time.
If you will, the Centro is a list of compromises, but those compromises increase the size of those who can get into the smartphone game. This is a solid compromise, and possibly the best one that needs to be made in this class of devices.

7.Sprint EV-DO Rev.
8.1150 mAh battery with up to 3.5 hrs continuous talk time

11.Included Applications: Google Maps, Sprint IM, Documents to Go 10, VersaMail 4.0 email client, Pocket Tunes Deluxe, trial version of Nuance Voice Control, Astraware Suduko, and built-in user manual in the My Centro application.
The Palm Centro should not be considered so much a low cost Treo as a shot into the area of affordable smartphones by Palm. While the operating system and even aspects of the design are similar to this company's Treo models, the pricing and timing of its introduction makes the Centro a compelling buy in view of other devices in its price range.
